Opening this one up to the floor

I keep asking people if they have come across any good, accessible, web 2.0 sites at all, and, so far at least, I keep getting met with the same negative response. And lets face it, endless blog entries along the lines of, "oh, this is so cool, if only everyone could use it" is going to get pretty stale pretty quickly.
So I'm going to ask you instead. Have you come across the next that everyone can use? Have you designed and built the latest must-have or that works with screen readers?
Then let me know about it. I'll do a blog entry about it. And if you are in charge of an accessible 2.0 website or application, I'll interview you as well.
Much better I think all round if between us we find some accessible, cutting edge websites that we can talk about positively, and hold themup as shining examples of what can be done, rather than endlessly pointing out how not to do it. So drop me an email, or leave a comment below regarding any sites you think I should check out.

Can I suggest contacting someone on the Accessibility task Force over at The Web Standards project?
They will probably be able to point you in the direction of a few decent 2.0 sites.

I've found
to be accessible. They did use captcha for sign up, but I've heard that they will help blind users sign up if asked, and that they're responsive.

I can't name any particularly accessible web 2.0 sites - I haven't looked yet - but have a question to tag on to Paul's: has anyone read or used the draft guidance for website developers to create accessible so-called "dynamic" content from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
It's called the "Accessible Rich Internet Application suite" and the WAI have put together a roadmap to adddress areas of inaccessibility. What do people think of this?

Listened yesterday to errudite experts analyzing methodology for saving the planet. No one addressed the core issue which is, population control. There are allready too many people here on this small planet. Our air is befouled, our water decreasing, and each person wants his share of the new technology. We cannot keep building more automobiles and new houses and cutting down trees to provide comfort to those in need. Unless we deal with this issue, there will be no solution.
Thank you, L. Zivitz
